It’s hard to believe that it’s been most of a year since The Tallest Man On Earth performed in Asheville. But it has been. That show was in July. Revisit it here. Or check out this special behind-the-scenes video. Well, not exactly behind the scene. Kristian Matsson (who usually plays an acoustic guitar), went electronic for this gorgeously moody and atmospheric Moog Sound Lab video.
From the press release: “Swedish folk artist Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man On Earth, stepped into the Moog Sound Lab along with Strand of Oaks to reinvent the title track from his 2012 album There’s No Leaving Now. Matsson trades the solo piano of the original song for the infinite sustain of the Moog Guitar which he plays through an MF-103 12-Stage Phaser and an MF-104Z Analog Delay. In a rare moment of collaboration Strand of Oaks’ Timothy Showalter accompanies Matsson on a Minimoog Voyager while drummer Chris Ward uses a Trap-Kat midi controller to trigger the percussive sounds of three Rack Mount Voyagers.”
